I went to the river, heard it's been flooding
Got there and found an underwater town
Swam in the water, searched for survivors,
But all I could find were black bodies drowned
I held my sign, I marched the flood line
From the morning until it was dinner time
The steak was fine, went well with the wine
It was a beautiful place to drink and to dine
Is it a crime to be this fucking blind?
Is it a lie to think I know what's right?
What's right?
So gather the people, we've done the research
Got a moderate proposal that our leaders will agree with
I know you might die, but we can't spare a dime
We've got a senator that needs to be subsidized
So fight for your meals, I'll pray that it's peaceful
And I'll pray for your freedom from under the steeple
I couldn't see you, I had no idea
Yeah but now that I'm aware I'll sign petitions for your people
It's a crime to be this fucking blind
Oh it's a lie to think I do what's right
What's right?
Oh it should be a crime to be this fucking blind
It's a damn lie to think I am what's right
Should I make a sign?
Is there something on your mind?
Don't be so shy
Have you tried to exercise?
Goodbye, don't cry, oh I wish I had more time.
